The soundtrack is pretty meh because it's done by Nicalis' in house dad rock band, like Cave Story +, but Rebirth as a game is great.

Rebirth had some weird direction towards more a more ambient sound, the repentance ost feels like a different games soundtrack sometimes, and the previewed mewgentics music is also really good. antibirths is also super good.

The Blue Baby (???) playable character is a straight up reference to those old works. It's even part of it's trivia on the wiki page.
You can actualy play some of those old games in Edmund's Newgrounds page. I'm pretty sure even Edmund himself mentioned his old website in some interviews.

He never tried to hide it, and neither had a reason to do so, considering that's pretty much part of his shtick. Why the fuck are people making a deal of this only now?

The fact that this doc was made back in 2024 is as suspicious as that one Xitter user who searched Scott Cawthon's donation records as a "joke"

Yeah I downloaded the mod that adds mudeth's music back in. He's actually made more than what was in the original antibirth mod. The new alt level themes(especially flooded caves) are pretty good.

And of course had to format it in the best way possible, a gay-ass exposé document "archiving" the "journey" of uncovering it, complete with Discord screenshots discussing it with their zoomer pals.
As well as plugging in a discord rapper friend of the OP and his socials for some reason?

People don't realize that back in the day, the leftists were the ones who were edgy and provocative, and conservatives were the ones who wanted everything to be censored. Remember when the Church of Euthanasia made a stand claiming to sell hot dogs made of aborted babies? This is just the kind of shit they were doing and Edmund was just one of those people

Edmund is very critical of religion, and he himself has a very bad childhood experience with it, so it makes sense why he gravitated to the extreme. Hell, the website in question has an entire page dedicated to hate mail he received for his website, Edmund loved the attention he was receiving from this website, he loved pissing people off with his shitty offensive jokes about dead babies. The only fuck up he made are putting links to a porn website that hosts CP and putting a picture of a child holding a fansing of his website name around the NSFW fansings (like penises, blood and gore), that's pretty irresponsible but it is forgivable since it happened like 18+ years ago

Legend of Bum-Bo also helps shift blame onto Dad, demonstrating his gambling problems, etc. The functional reality is stark: At a certain point, late in the game's lifecycle, Edmund went from being content with Mom being the Big Bad to trying to humanize Mom. The chief target for the blame shifting became Dad. These changes came deep in the game's life cycle, and while not a full Heel-Face Turn, is absolutely repentance (metanoia, the changing of the mind based on new information). Shifting blame from a female character to a male is a common trope in feminist fiction, ergo this is plainly DEI-coded on its face.

There is no "blame shifting", did you not pay attention to the endings?

Isaac has an awful image of his mother because she's a born-again Christian that abused him for every little thing he did, and she's the only person thats ever around him.

There's only vague items and references to the dad because he left the household a long time ago. Isaac is a literal child, and he definitely cannot remember his dad very well.

On the Beast ending, Isaac gets a flashback to his entire life and you can see that in actuality:
* Dad stole money and was an abusive prick to mom
* Mom became hopeless, histerical and overtly religious
* Dad gives up on his family and leaves, leaving Isaac by himself with his crazy mom.
* Isaac develops a deep self hatred because of his mom and himself twisting the Bible into thinking he's a demon spawn, he later dies in delirium inside a chest, either stuck inside or choosing to stay there to rid his sinful self from the world.

So instead of "psycho mom abuses Isaac for no clear reason into suicide" we get "bum retard dad and psycho mom drove Isaac into suicide".

The ending in bumbo shows another mistake by dad: teaching Isaac to use his imagination. Instead of Isaac dealing with his problems, he can't because he's a literal child and all he can do his use his imagination for escapism.

That is most definitely not forgivable.

Bro the legend of bum bo was about how his dad was trying to be a good dad in spite of his flaws, he couldn't afford real toys so he made an imaginary world with cardboard cutouts to play with his son and his insane mother got rid of and destroyed them all. There's a reason Isaac's toy chest was empty enough for him to fit inside. Isaac's dad is literally the voice of god in the other ending Repentance added, what more do you want

Some of you are so fucking poisoned by anti woke and anti DEI shit lmao I mean, it is bad and deserves to be made fun of but if you think the game goes "It's woke and broke because it made Dad that bad guy and Mom innocent" you're literally retarded with no sense of media literacy.

It's about them both being terrible parents who tried their best, but they were both shitty people. Dad is an alcoholic that makes mistakes but truly loves his son and tries to build toys and tells stories to his son. He fails his family and leaves.

Mom is already mentally ill and gets into dogmatic televangelists until she's basically brainwashed and takes everything away from her son and instills the idea into him that he's basically a demon. They're both shitty parents but they seem to at least have tried, with Mom being the main blame in Isaac's mind because almost every end boss and many mid bosses are themed after her in some way. And those that aren't are themed after Isaac himself because of his self hatred instilled by her.

The game never depicts Dad as the problem, if anything he's the lesser of two evils. But the point is, neither of them were good.



Also for the zoomer retards, I can't believe the guy that made games like Dead Baby Dress Up and multiple other games with dead babies, and very gory games hosted a website with gore and dead babies. I couldn't possibly imagine.

These zoomers are so stupid they thought that some top 50 link clickthrough farm from the 2000's was a list of curated content that Edmund McMillen chose and should be demonized for. They're clicking through archives of old pop-up and virus infested porn sites.

The meme outrage made me start a new save and this is the shit I see on my second run. Couldn't even get to Satan since I only beat Mom's Heart once. Real fucked up progression hours.

Had to cheese Dark Room from sacrifices just to get something of value from getting Chaos as first item. Sad I don't have the Mega Satan door unlocked, I'd whoop his ass.

If anything the new Repentance ending felt very underwhelming that it's all a story/imagining of Isaac in heaven. Especially with the build up making me assume there will be a sequel where Isaac is in hell.
